Hey America, The Stimulus Package Was A Scam

Chris Jones — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:47:30 +0000

With every passing day we learn more and more about the treachery that was the so-called Obama “stimulus” package. Many of us saw the $787 billion scam for exactly what it was — a giant slush fund to pay back friends and cronies.

All you had to do was look at who wrote the stimulus bill. It was a who’s who of “social justice” organizations and assorted Commie Pinko cretins. It was never meant to create jobs or “stimulate” the economy. It was meant to give free shit to people who the left believes are owed something. It was about redistribution of wealth.

But, that’s not the half of it. We learn today that many of the jobs supposedly “saved or created” on account of the porkulus bill are in districts that don’t even exist.

Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

The reality is that every member of Congress who voted to steal $787 billion of tax payer money (borrowed from China) should rot in jail.

He’s right about the government, but the other big lesson is that labor unions are bad for America. It’s time to crush big labor once and for all.

(hat tip Big Government)

Taxpayers Paid $24,000 Per Car For ‘Clash For Clunkers’

Chris Jones — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:35:21 +0000

From CNN:

A total of 690,000 new vehicles were sold under the Cash for Clunkers program last summer, but only 125,000 of those were vehicles that would not have been sold anyway, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the automotive Web site Edmunds.com.

…The average rebate was $4,000. But the overwhelming majority of sales would have taken place anyway at some time in the last half of 2009, according to Edmunds.com. That means the government ended up spending about $24,000 each for those 125,000 additional vehicle sales.

It doesn’t matter how these jerks in Congress (from both parties) try and spin it. Once again, the American tax payer took it up the ass for a program we all knew was BS from the beginning. Every single thing our government has done to allegedly alleviate the recession has been about paying off special interests. The phony stimulus was one of the greatest thefts in world history. It was $787 billion dollars of pork and special interest bribes.

“Cash For Clunkers” was total horseshit from the moment it was conceived. It turned out exactly like many of us knew it would — as grand theft auto. It was smoke and mirrors just like everything else coming from the federal government.

You think this is bad, just wait until ObamaCare kicks in.

Apple Quits Chamber Of Commerce Over Phony Climate Change

Apple made a big show of quitting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today, because the business group refuses to drink the Kool-Aid and embrace Al Gore’s junk science.

Apple Inc on Monday became the latest company to quit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because the technology company disagrees with the business group’s climate change policy.

"We would prefer that the chamber take a more progressive stance on this critical issue and play a constructive role in addressing the climate crisis," Catherine Novelli, a vice president of government affairs at Apple, wrote in a letter dated Monday to the business group.

Novelli wrote that Apple resigned its membership in the business group "effective immediately."

Last month three big power utilities, Exelon Corp, PG&E Corp and PNM Resources Inc, said they were leaving the chamber over the group’s stance on climate.

Everyone knows the Apple folks are a bunch of tree-hugging libs — so this is no great shock. What I find amusing and even a little disturbing are the power utilities who left The Chamber.

How bizarre is it that power companies are embracing an ideology that seeks to shut them down? I can’t believe they could really buy into the climate change BS. I suspect this is about politics. They figure if they pretend to tow the line maybe Obama won’t regulate them out of business. Sadly, they’re mistaken. The environmental whack jobs are running wild right now and they’ll destroy our country if given the chance.

Global warming is phony and the science behind it is phony. The environmental extremist movement has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do with redistribution of wealth and “social justice”.

The earth is actually cooling right now — not warming.

That said, I plan to embrace the green movement by saving some, and not buying any Apple products.

Great interview with 50. He’s a marketing genius. As a social media consultant I often look at what 50 is doing in terms of social media and adopt some of the same strategies for my clients.

From the AP:

Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September.

The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday.

Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

Good for her. It’s about time the financial big wigs of the world got a refresher course in free market economics.

GM Preparing Bankruptcy Plans

Chris Jones — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:51:26 +0000

According to Bloomberg, GM is speeding up plans for bankruptcy even as the board prepares another restructuring plan for Obama. GM is going to end up going into bankruptcy, because they still have the albatross around their neck called the UAW. The union has destroyed the American car industry and no amount of “restructuring” by the Obama administration is going to cure that.

The fastest way for the American auto industry to become profitable and competitive again is to get the hell away from unions. That’s never going to happen especially under this administration, therefore the auto companies are destined for bankruptcy.
